Over ten years and seven albums the slowest of slowcore bands, Low have remained faithful to lonely, reverb-drenched harmonies and heart-wrenchingly sad melodies, flirting only occasionally with lushness, loudness and more traditional song structures.

Formed in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1994, Low have never made what could be called, even by the loosest standards, a rock record. Until now.

The band's seventh album (and fifth for Rough Trade Records), The Great Destroyer, is Low's most brisk and passionate album yet, shifting moods effortlessly and often and swapping the melancholy of old for moments of bright, uptempo beauty and fuzz, dirt and darkness.

With help from new producer Dave Fridmann (who has helped orchestrate lush soundscapes for The Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev), the band is tugging and prodding at its own definitions.

Fans of Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Byrds and early Fleetwood Mac may find something to love here. And like Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, The Great Destroyer is charged with the emotional upheaval of a big break-up and the invigorating effects of a bigger make-up.

Original bassist Zak Sally left the band dramatically last year, only to rejoin for a Radiohead support slot before leaving again after an epic nine years on board. New recruit Matt Livingston has taken Zak's place, joining founder, married members, Alan Sparhawk (guitars and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals).
